Lisa's note: The High School of Art & Design strikes again with Evan Laurence another long time friend acting his way to the top. Evan was recently featured on urbanseashell—a collection when his artwork was on exhibition last month (posting 10.22). He tells me he has "been recently drawing like a madman". We will patiently wait for the next show Evan. In the meantime he is advertising Sexahol at The Parkside Lounge in Manhattan the day after Thanksgiving. Enjoy your holiday everyone!

As Thanksgiving approaches, some of you are dreading that long,dragged out flight to the midwest or red states to commiserate withyour Norman Rockwell-like family. For some, this holiday is a test ofendurance, requiring many glasses of liquor to block out the burningsun of family.

Well, have no fear!

Sexahol is back the day after Turkey Day and there is plenty of liquorto be had! This month we bring you the sublime Joan Crowe, major starof cabaret! If that's not enough the Lady Clover Honey will titilateyou with her jokes and snaps and perhaps sing a sultry standard ortwo. David F. Slone will also rock the house with a number or two andI can promise a computer crafted ditty of my own. But, wait! Mr. Sloneand I will be performing oodles of improv to dazzle and tease yourrespective funny bones....and we may have a surprise guest (or two).

So toss back the turkey till you're stuffed to the gills(invertebrates, this means you!) and come join the happy Sexaholfamily for a night of frivolous jollies!
